bergha1998 's review for:

Foundation and Earth by Isaac Asimov
3.5
adventurous challenging mysterious reflective slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I liked it for a while. The jumping around to different planets with the main few characters reminded me a lot of Prelude (which is my favorite of the series). But I got so annoyed with Trev and Bliss arguing the same thing over and over. I got both of their perspectives, but damn give it a break once in a while while.
My least favorite part was Fallom I know Asimov didn’t have the language we have today, but making a hermaphrodite the “alien” character felt so gross and uncomfortable. They’re still a person!! Also, I’ve been waiting the whole series for Daneel to show up and then it’s like 20 pages. Pacing my dude.
